I really enjoyed this day. Our symposium TecUthsav, we have conducted our department events today. We had a robo car and three system with network programming in the octogon in our main building. Everybody appreciated us. We had Mr. Chidambaran V Kollengode, yahoo India as our chief guest. He gave a brief talk about cloud computing. After that we had paper presentation, Code fizz, Reach it and vague geeks. All events ended at five. After that we had our cultural programs.We had dance and singing. I was very eager in dancing since that was my last chance. but those guys disappointed me. Anyway I am really happy to conduct this big event. I must thank my juniors for helping and supporting me always.

It was my great pleasure to tell about the release of TOSS(TCE Operating System Services), an operating system has a full compatibility and capality to debian and Ubuntu distributions. It has all the features related to all engineering applications. It is sophicated for engineering students. And also it made a great success for us because it was released on TecUthsav inaugural day, yesterday. The alpha version of TOSS was released by TCS ’s CTO(Chief Technology Officer) Dr. Ananth Krishnan. It was fully developed and integrated by my juniors, second year buddies. I am really proud to tell this. Because before some months, we have made a try to do the same. But unfortunately we had no time to do that. But they made it as possible. It is not just another spin of Ubuntu or Debian. All the core part of them are remaining as such, while they have changed and configured all the external things as per the GPL license. They have all major engineering applications such as Qcad, Jeda, Ktech lab, Xcircuit, GCC, G++, GCJ, perl, python, php, Network games, Dvd burner, Vlc, Amarok, Gimp, Picasa, Screenlets and much more. We have made all the arrangements in our open air auditorium and function was a successful one for us. And also this linux distribution is a free edition. So anyone can get it. If you want free DVD of TOSS, you can very well contact CSE department of TCE, Madurai.

Last sunday, me,aswin,mahesh,kannan,naagu,mani went for a bike trip to Kutladampatti nearer to Alankanallur and Paalamedu. It is 35 kms away from my home. We started from home at 10 0′ clock. Reached there in half an hour travel from mahesh’s home. We didn’t go the falls . Instead we tried some adventures action. We climbed on the steep hills upto some 1.5 kms. And reached the source of water. It was awesome. The water was very pure and chill. Nobody was there except six of us. We played there for a long time and returned again in the afternoon. I didn’t believe such a nice place is there in Madurai too. It is a nice place or week end trips or as a picnic. It will be more cool when there is more water.
